I'm looking for some tips from the experts here, after seeing several world class hosta gardens this summer! I want my hosta areas to look like those I saw. They sort of looked like mine, but were missing the holes <LOL> This past weekend, I talked to a hosta expert who gave me some advice, which was to totally clean up the foliage in the late fall. I've always left it, which may be the problem. QUESTION: some of the hostas are dying back now, and I've been removing the foliage but others are still going strong. Is it OK to just cut the foliage back now or should I just let it die back naturally and then cut it back.
This expert also mentioned a specific slug treatment that he says should be applied 3 times in the spring.....I've sort of randomly applied it and not at 3 specific times, but am certainly willing to try anything in order to get clean, slugless foliage next year.
Any suggestions appreciated. Thanks.
